The Simpson SSC6.25-R30 Steel Stud Clip is a 14-gauge, G90 galvanized utility connector built for cold-formed steel framing. Engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie for versatility across stud-to-stud and stud-to-structure applications, these clips install easily on the open side of studs or joists, accommodating flanges up to 3 in. long and return lips up to 3/4 in. A wide pattern of strategic fastener locations supports both traditional and custom design requirements, making these angle clips a reliable go-to for CFS framing crews.

Key Features

• Prepunched fastener holes - eliminate predrilling entirely, reducing labor time and installation cost on every connection.
• Intuitive fastener hole positioning - guides accurate, design-compliant clip placement while accommodating a wide range of design configurations and application requirements, giving installers flexibility without guesswork.
• Hard-side and soft-side angle lengths - support attachment to studs and joists with return lips up to 3/4 in., expanding the range of compatible framing members.
• 4 in. leg length - enables soft-side connections for studs and joists with flanges up to 3 in. long, covering the most common CFS framing profiles.
• Compatible with u-channel bridging - adds a secondary use case beyond stud connections, making these clips a multi-purpose addition to any CFS project.
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides enhanced corrosion resistance, helping these connectors hold up in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
• 14-gauge (68 mil) cold-formed steel construction - delivers the structural integrity required for load-bearing CFS framing applications.

Why This Product

• One clip, many connections - the SSC design handles stud-to-stud, stud-to-structure, and u-channel bridging applications, reducing the number of connector types a crew needs to stock and manage on a CFS project.
• Faster installation, lower labor cost - prepunched holes and clearly positioned fastener locations mean less setup time per connection, which adds up quickly across a large framing job.
• Built for real-world CFS framing dimensions - the combination of a 4 in. leg and compatibility with return lips up to 3/4 in. means these clips fit the studs and joists most commonly used in cold-formed steel construction, without requiring custom solutions.
• Trusted Simpson Strong-Tie engineering - wide fastener hole patterns are intentionally designed to support both standard and custom layout requirements, giving engineers and contractors confidence that the connector can adapt to project-specific demands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of construction are the Simpson SSC6.25-R30 clips designed for?

These clips are designed specifically for cold-formed steel (CFS) construction, where they serve as versatile utility connectors for a variety of stud-to-stud and stud-to-structure applications.

Do the SSC6.25-R30 clips require predrilling during installation?

No. The clips feature prepunched holes that eliminate the need for predrilling, which helps reduce overall installation cost and saves time on the job site.

What flange and return lip sizes are compatible with these clips?

The 4 in. leg length enables soft-side connections for studs and joists with flanges up to 3 in. long, and the angle lengths accommodate studs and joists with return lips up to 3/4 in. for either hard-side or soft-side attachment.

What corrosion protection do the SSC6.25-R30 clips offer?

Each clip is coated with a Zinc Galvanized G90 finish, which provides extra corrosion resistance, making them well-suited for demanding cold-formed steel construction environments.
